New York Mail and Express
For year or two past the most famous
passenger train in the world has been the
daily New York and Chicago limited. over
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad, In connection with the Lake Shore
road. The revolution in the methods, aspira-
tions and achievements of the Wagner Palace
Car Company, by which the drawing-room
and sleeping cars over the Vanderbilt system
of roads are operated has been so great that
the wagner Company now takes foremost
position in catering to the comfort and lux

a Brave Winnar.

The Coronet has arrived in Queentown and
wins the ocean yacht race, the Satur-
days report of the arrival of the Dauntless
having been false rumor sent out from
New York. The actual time of the Coronet's
passage was II days and 10 hours. During
this time she encountered severe storms. and
the report that many times her crew felt that
she could not live in the tremendous seas
will be dismaying news for the friends of
those on the still missing Dauntless. The
time made by the Coronet has been sur
passed twice; though considering the storms,
her performance seems creditable.
In 1870, when the Dauntless raced
with the British yacht Cambria from
Queenstown to New York, the start was
made on July 4th, and the winning Cambria
arrived at New York. July 18th, after pas
sage of q days. This was summer pas
sage. Still earlier, in 1866, in the only other
race ever sailed across the. Atlantic, that Of
the Henrietta, Fleetwing and Vesta,
he trip was made by the Henrietta

still faster time has been made by the
sappho, which has crossed from Sandy
Hook to Queenstown in 10 days and nine
hours. When the Genesta went home from
New York in 1885, after the Puritan had
successfully defended the Americas cup
against her. the distance from New York to
Portsmouth, considerably farther than from
New York to Queenstown. was made in 10
days and 10 hours. Captain Saunders held
that this beat the record of any previous quick
sailing by an English yacht. In one day he
made 240 miles under adoube-reefed topsail.
TWAS in October when the Genesta made this
record. Last summer. in August, when the
Galatea came over to meet the Mayfower, it
will be remembered that she had very long
passage of 81 days. So long was 1t that con-
siderable anxiety was felt for the welfare of
Lieutenant Hem and his wife, who accom-
panied him. And, during the whole of this
trip the Galatea spoke no vessel until within
three days of the American coast, circum-
stance which shows that, crowded as the
ocean is with craft between Europe and
North America, it is not necessarily a dis
quoting sign that tidings of any particular
vessels are meager.

There was less interest than usual at the

Incidents Of New York labor troubles last

worked after labor organization had or

industry, and through their district assembly

famous story that illustrates well the little

essay Of Charles Lamb on Roast Pig The
pig got caught in a Chinaman's house
when was on fire, and was roasted. When
the lire was extinguished, there came the
most delicious and appetizing odors which.
upon investigation, proved to be from the
pig. The Chinaman tasted and so did his
wife, and they thought it was the most de-
hcions thing they had ever eaten Then
they told their friends about it. and thew
tested 1t with similar happy results. The
Chinese developed great love for roast pig.
but, being very conservative people. when
ever they wanted roast pig burned a house
in order to have it. The revival of this
story at this juncture lies in its application,

order to get the roast pig. Rhode Island
has been governed well by the Republican
party for many years. Its manufacturing
interests have fourished; its population has
increased until it has become the most dense
ly settled of any of the States in the Union
its wealth has grown and from it has gone
out capital that has aided in the establish
ment of business enterprises in other States.
Education has been fostered, good govern
ment has been promoted, and the State has
advanced further in dealing with the tenn
perance question than have any of the other
New England States, Maine alone excepted.
Governor Wetmore has already served the
State well in its highest position; but, hap
pening to be wealthy, the cry of doodle" is
raised against him, and few who ought to
be supporting him are going about to admin
lister rcproof by putting the Democrats into
power. They are like the Chinese, who
burned their houses to get the roast pig.

THE NATURE OF MARCH.

The New York Sun SAYS March is q Mug

thing one can safely back it TO do is blowing.
To which the Springfield Republican retorts
that another resemblance between March

lion. The Republican should not forget that

DR." YoRK's WELCOME TO BOSTON.

When the Herald broke up the Ubiquitous
business at Lewiston, by simply showing it
up, it did not expect Boston would suffer
from its work, but it seems such is to be the
result. The notorious DR.. and Prof. York
proposes TO remove to this city and make a
good living out of the advertising the Herald
has given him-and we fear he will. At the
time the Herald's exposure was made, the
probabilities were that he would pull up
stakes and go farther West even to Ohio,
where his picture was being printed every
day as one Of the heads of an alleged insti-
tute, of which he was 'chief electrician" or
something Of that sort. 1t makes no. differ

German chemist thin ks he has done

The hopeless slavery of the Democratic
party to the saloons was never more sig
nally demonstrated than in two memorable
contests in the legislatures Of two great
States last week. The contest in the New
York Legislature to pass the Crosby high
license bill, the almost solid Democratic OBJ
position to the measure, and the final victory
won by the Republicans have already been
commented on in these columns. In the
Philadelphia legislature at Harrisburg a
similar contest has been going on over the
Brooks high-license bill. From its appear
ance in the legislature, the State organize
tion of the liquor men has fought this meas
ure desperately, inch by inch. Philadelphia
has nearly or quite 5000 saloons--one for
every 142 inhabitants. The total receipts
from licenses last year were $307, 400. The
friends of the bill claimed that its passage
would at once shut up at least one-half of
these saloons and swell the yearly revenue
from licenses to three millions of dollars.
1t Is easy to understand why the whiskey
sellers should fight the bill, though the I'M
blushing methods which they resorted to are
remarkable even for them. This is |. de-
scription of the scene on one of the impor-
tant divisions on the Brooks bill, given by a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press:
The liquor lobby was gathered nearly hun
dred teet away from the ministers, in the corner
OF the chamber diag0naily opposite, in towering
ugly looking fringe at the outer edge OF the Dem
ocratlc seats. Never did a lobby invade the floor
OF the house with such open boldness. From their
camp they sent messengers fitting hither and
thlther, from member to member, commanding
entfeatlng, threatening. Halt a dozen members
openly left their seats and Joined the group of
t liquor men, consulting and advising. Some of
them even voted while standing among the lobby
An old observer, who has been about the legisla-
tive halls for ten years, remarked that he had
never seen lobby so conspicuous In its position
bers. ~
The bill, however, passed the House by
very close vote, greatly to the satisfaction of
temperance people Of both the Protestant
and Catholic societies of the State.
